LUSSEBULLE | Free crochet pattern

Have you ever tried a lussebulle, lussekatt or saffrans bulle (saffron bun)? This is a typical Christmas bun that is especially common in Sweden and also in some Finnish homes around Lucia (13.12). I'm so excited to share this free pattern with you! Isn't it adorable? I've added mine to my keychain to make it more festive. Happy crocheting!
